The diggers are on site, which means only one thing... work has started on a new hospice in Norfolk.

East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) today held a turf-cutting ceremony in Framingham Earl where the new hospice, called The Nook, will be built.

Construction can get under way after £7m of its £10m cost was raised. The charity will continue to raise funds for the rest of the project.

The Nook will have more areas for clinical care, a hydrotherapy pool, sensory room, better equipped en-suite bedrooms and dedicated therapy rooms.

Hannah Bloom, capital appeal project lead for The Nook, said: "Our current hospice in Quidenham is old, with limited access given its rural location and has no scope for expansion.

"The Nook will offer services that are currently either unavailable or extremely limited, and being just south of Norwich it will have greatly improved transport links."

His trial at Cambridge Crown Court heard his tractor was on the wrong side of the road on a bend on West Acre Road when it hit the Fiat Ulysse, killing the mother-of-four.

Bett, who is the son of Stephen Bett, has been appealing against his sentence at the Court of Appeal in London.

His solicitor argued it was too tough as he was of previous good character and had acted responsibly at the scene by attempting to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the victim, along with others.

Mr Justice Teare dismissed the appeal, saying: "We have carefully considered whether the mitigation merits a greater reduction than that allowed by the [trial] judge, but have concluded it does not."

The number of children removed from a controversial academy has doubled since we first reported 20 pupils had been withdrawn by parents.

An Freedom of Information (FOI) Act inquiry sent by a parent to the Inspiration Trust, which runs Great Yarmouth Charter Academy (GYCA), confirmed 41 children were deregistered from the school from the beginning of term up until 10 October.

A spokesman for the Trust, said the figure "includes six pupils who had been assigned a place by Norfolk County Council but never actually attended. In the same period, 12 children applied to join the school".

The school, which had some of the worst GCSE results in the county, was taken on by the Inspiration Trust this summer, but has been criticised by parents for its new "draconian" behaviour rules.

Meanwhile a separate FOI inquiry has revealed nine children requested transfers from Trafalgar College in Great Yarmouth since the beginning of term with parents saying they believe the number now to be nearer 26.

Trafalgar College, external was taken over by the Inspiration Trust last year and it has asked the DfE to consider merging it with GYCA.

David Dearlove, 71, is accused of killing 19-month-old Paul Booth in Stockton in 1968.

The toddler's then three-year-old brother Peter claimed he had crept downstairs and witnessed the attack through a crack in a door.

He tried to get police to reopen the investigation on three occasions but was unsuccessful.

This changed in 2015 when Peter became angry by a picture on Facebook of Mr Dearlove, who now lives in Great Yarmouth, holding his younger brother, and as a result he gave an interview to the police.

Mr Dearlove denies murder as well as manslaughter and three charges of cruelty. The trial continues.
